ASSEMBLY
Front Wheel
1. Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the wheel to pass
through the brake pads easily.
2. Place wheel into fork drop outs
3. Install retaining washers with raised lip pointed towards the fork, and
insert into the small hole of the fork blade.
4. Install axle nut and tighten. Make sure the wheel is centered between
the fork blades.
5. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered and clears the brake
shoes. Tighten the brakes if necessary.
6. Turn the bicycle upright using the kickstand to support it.
It is very important to check the front wheel
connection to the bicycle. Failure to properly tighten
may cause the front wheel to dislodge.
Front Brake
Determine which type of brake your bike is equipped with and refer to
the appropriate assembly instructions. For more information on brake
adjustment and maintenance, refer to p. 30-36. A greater force is required
to activate the rear brake due to longer cable length. It is advisable to
mount the rear brake on the side of the stronger hand. It is important to
become familiar with the use of hand brakes. When properly adjusted,
hand brakes are an efficient brake system. Keep the rim and brake shoes
clean and free from wax, lubricant and dirt at all times. Keep brakes
properly adjusted and in good working condition at all times.
Open the brake lever and place the nipple end of the short brake cable
into the lever, than close the lever. Secure the ferrule against the lever
using the cable adjusting barrel.
